I did reinstall my blog over at Saltwater Fish Keeping and I was able to save all the posts and pages, but I need to put more work into it, but the critical part is done (yay!). Eventually I hope to purchase a general WordPress theme that I can use for all my sites. I […]

These 2 Things Will Stop Your Blog From Being Successful
There are many things that can stop, or at least slow down, a person’s success in blogging, but if you want to be successful these two are at the top of my list. How do I know? Personal experience? Listening to others? Well both really, and if you’ve been following me for any length of […]
Planting the Seeds of Despair
Sounds pretty depressing right? Well that’s because it is. My first attempts at raising things from seeds was very very disappointing. My dad was given a little greenhouse-type thing as a gift and one of those seed starter kits. This isn’t the first time my parents have had a greenhouse, we built one when I was a […]
My Gardening Layout Up Close or “What was I thinking?”
So of the many fatal flaws in my plan(s), my gardening layout is one of them. As you may recall, I chose short-ish rows and columns so it looked kind of like a table you might see on a computer screen, only less neat and more disorderly. I did this in order to minimize the […]

Long Time No Blog, Well, Not Really
It sure feels that way though. I’ve been blogging, quite actively in fact, just not here. I started a blog about my gardening exploits (or lack thereof) over at I am NOT a gardener. Now I’ve done a lot of research into gardening for money such as gourmet mushrooms, baby corn, antique roses, corn/soy for […]
The Grapes of Wrath, or not….
It should be no surprise to you, based on the url of this blog, that I don’t know much about the practicle aspects of gardening. However something I do have in my favor is that I don’t pretend to know something I don’t. In other words, I ask for help. Such is the case with […]
Digging the garden (yucky, blechy, and blah)
I finished digging up my community garden plot in accordance to my “master plan”. Man what a royal pain in my great workout that was. Ahem. I decided to let it sit and dry out for a while to help kill off some of the grass and weeds (of course it has done lots of […]
